A common problem in cases of express warranty is being able to separate statements that create express warranties from statements that do not. Discuss what type of statements create an express warranty and four indications that a statement is likely to create an express warranty


Any affirmation of fact, or any promise, can create an express warranty. An affirmation of fact is a statement about the nature or the quality of the goods. A statement indicating the seller's opinion or a statement of sales puffery does not create a warranty. A statement is more likely to be an affirmation of fact if: (a) it is specific and can be proven true or false; (b) it is written; (c) defects are not obvious; and (d) the seller has greater expertise than the buyer.
